Re: Now hear this!

Part of me would like to try this, but another part of me is scared to, because of the terms I've seen associated with this one: girly, makeup/lipstick smell, sweet, powdery, etc. I'm pretty sure DHI wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Re: Now hear this!

I like it but Fahrenheit is still the KING of the designers in my book!

Only as a figurehead. The real power behind the throne is weilded by DHI.

That's nonsense, sure the topnotes have that vibe but the heart off the scent is off the charts. The topnotes are there so that we can more deeply appreciate the rest. The topnotes confuse our senses so that we are more blown away by incredible mid and basenotes. It wouldn't be the same without the iris, lipstick, handbag vibe a the start.

Order some small sample. You could be surprised how masculine it is in its darkness. I too dislike too sweet frags but this i don't find too sweet or lipstick-kind.

I thought the same thing and neglected going anywhere near the Dior Homme line. Big mistake. Can't tell you how many times I've been complemented when wearing DH and DHI by women.

Re: Now hear this!

Prefer M7 myself, but DHI is one of the few designers that I own and enjoy on the occasions that I wear it. However, if we were to get technical and allow Costume National and Comme des Garçons onto the designer list (although some consider them niche), I wouldn't choose a Dior or YSL for a first pick.
